Can I get your honest feedback?
Hey everyone! Long time reader and finally decided to make the jump to pursue medicine.
Can I get your feedback if you’ve been through the med school process? What are my chances of admission? Any and all thoughts are welcome.
Please be kind! My goal is to attend a large SEC school, I’m not very interested in high caliber IVY esque med schools because I don’t want a repeat of my undergrad experience
I was recently admitted and will attend a post bacc that has a “100%” admission rate for qualified students and multiple linkage programs. Received a significant scholarship as well. It’s a bit expensive (~60k with my living expenses and tuition) but I think it’s most efficient way to get to med school ASAP
Key stats on me
- T10 IVY undergrad with 3.8 gpa, 3.9 sGPA with highest class being orgo 1 and lab. Earned 2 degrees with my main being an Applied Math degree
- first gen, URM student
- well spoken, kind to people & enjoy interpersonal interactions
- 10 years of work experience in finance with progressive leadership & responsibility. 55+ hours per week of work, multiple promotions
- 500+ hours of volunteering as board of directors member, urban housing related startup
- multiple significant research outputs as a senior in high school
I am working hard to obtain a clinical internship to fill that component of my application. I also plan to study hardcore for next 4-5 months for the MCAT and so far have enjoyed the process
